This evening @fsfe 's great @nicorikken will talk in the Angry Nerds Podcast ( @angrynerdspodcast ) about the launch of the Dutch "Ada & #Zangemann" book, plus the #Braille version. He did an amazing work during the last months to automate the production process for many different outputs of the story. If you speak Dutch, strong recommendation to watch!

Friends, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen and you should see it too. A guitar amp labelled entirely in braille. #accessibility #blind #blindness #braille

The packaging of the Fairphone and it's accessories has braille! I have never seen any packaging other than medicine have braille. I'm so impressed. Even the location of the qr code is highlighted with embossing. It seems to say "scan qr code for help".

Today being World #Braille Day, I acknowledge that to most, it's a series of random-seeming dots on elevators or ATM's. To me, and other #blind people, it's the gateway to literacy, education, and success.

My parents made me learn it and print simultaneously, suspecting my usable vision wouldn't last forever. They were right.

But thanks to Braille, I'm functionally literte, and I attribute much of my life's personal and professional success to this dotted code.
